Daily Tech News INDEPENDENCE DAY 2026

Top Story

Happy birthday, America! You don't look a day over 240!

(Actually you look a lot better than you did at 240, but we won't go into that.)
US life expectancy is expected to hit a record high as drug overdoses decrease. (CNN)

Unexpectedly. Turns out you can just do things.
Sitting - or lying down - for more than 30 minutes at a time has been linked to an increased risk of dying of cancer. (The Guardian)

So has drinking water and breathing air.

Tech News

Looks like I need to buy another PC case. (Hyte)

(Checks price.)

(Checks shipping rates.)

Uh. Yeah, at close to $1200 delivered I'll wait and see if this shows up at local retailers.
GitHub has announced plans to distribute physical media of popular repositories. (Tom's Hardware)

This is Microsoft poking fun at Sony.
Intel has added a 65W 22 core Nova Lake part with BLERK to its upcoming lineup. (Tom's Hardware)

Allegedly. BLERK stands for "Big Last-Level Cache" and is Intel's answer to AMD's X3D parts. 65W stands for, probably, about 150W. (AMD's 65W parts use 89W peak, for comparison.)

We'll see.
Intel just increased the price on a broad range of its CPUs. (Tom's Hardware)

Mostly its server chips - which have increased by closed to 30% in some cases - but also its desktop parts.
Bloober Team Ditches Cronos Survival Dread for Aggressive Combat as Lazarus Lands on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2. (WCCFTech)

I recognised at least one of those words.
AOOOSTAR has launched its own competitor to Valve's Steam Machine, priced at $849. (Liliputing)

It's a compact system measuring 8"x8"x3", and features Radeon 7600 XT graphics (a little faster than the Steam Machine's 7600M), and a Ryzen 7940HX CPU, which is dramatically faster than the semi-custom processor in the Steam Machine.

What it doesn't have is any memory (apart from the 8GB on the graphics card) or storage. Well, I assume it's 8GB; I doubt they've included a 16GB card.

37 Evening and morning for the late (and holiday) toilers and early risers! America is 250!!! Long may she reign!

(Pixy is right. America does look better than she did at 240.) (And the redhead grilling girl in the cartoon atop last night's ONT is hot.)

We watched Ian McKellen in Mr. Holmes last night. Not a fast-paced film, but despite depicting Sherlock at 93 (in 1947 England) as having recurrent dementia symptoms -- part of the plot; the movie is based on a novel -- it's pretty respectful to the original material. And there are even two deductive surprises delivered neatly by Mr. Holmes.

39 We gave the cats calming treats last night, in preparation for any fireworks outside. There were very few. Maybe the usual suspects are waiting for tonight.

The calming (just some melatonin) took a while to kick in, but then Stirling climbed into my lap -- despite Miss Linda having her feet already in said lap -- to work my arm and doze for a while. Third time that day, yet. And Dagny climbed to the back of the sofa and slept behind my head all during the movie.

That said, some corn or bran flakes in milk is pretty tasty, and the liquid helps to rehydrate you after a night's sleep.

Not looking forward to this evening. The kennel dogs will have to be put up early. Poor Diana doesn't like fireworks at all, so we'll give her a sedative and keep her close to us.

I wish it wasn't necessary, but to say that fireworks should not be shot off on the Glorious Fourth because our guys might get frightened is like some AWFL Karen saying that because little Xyler has a peanut allergy, no one should have peanuts.

88 I don't care for fireworks. They're boring. If you've seen them once, there's nothing new to see after that. Then they're expensive, dangerous, and they scare the animals. My house has a flat roof, and I don't want flaming fireworks landing on it.

89 Today is my birthday. I'm 178 years younger than the USA, but I'm catching up.

92 The thing I love most about America is freedom of speech. We're now maybe the only nation on the planet that has it, since the other Western nations have fled from it.

Freedom of speech is inseparable from freedom of thought itself. It's so precious, and so easily lost.
